AEM flatline
Did you happen to check the Cam angle sensor? We had the exact same problem with one of our Evo's. Swapped out the CAS and the problem was gone. They seem to not like too much heat. I believe that's why the HKS timeattack Evo has a heat shield over it.

the problem with that is then woodburn doesnt condition the track as good. Last import day I went to there I think they only condition the track once. well atleast I only seen them do it once LOL
Paul,
Voltage isn't the same thing as amperage. That guy from the presious post might be right, with the water pump and CDI, you might very well consider a larger output alternator. You should almost always read somewhere between 13.5 and 14.5 even with a dead battery. Amperage is a whole other story... Think of voltage as HP, and amperage as the torque. The torque is what gets you moving, not the HP.. I would heavily suggest at least trying one..
On another note, I was over at GSC helping him assemble a few things on his motor for his time attack car, that's a nice head you have on there. Props to both of you.. (You and GSC)

Is the AEM battery voltage pulling down on the logs? I would take the time to meter the pull down right on your permanent 12v to the CDI box during a pull.
We were fighting some fuel pump issues once and we're surprised to see a large pull down right at the device despite the fact that the AEM logs showed little voltage drop. The CDIs are supposed to be stable even at a low voltage so it probably isn't this but it's still worth addressing if the drop is substantial.
I still would bank on the CAS. Are you logging stat sync and timing errors. Is anything funky being recorded during the anomaly? Make sure you record these with the internal logger as the laptop may not be quick enough.
